Carpageddon (aka Wabash River Float)

Join us for a long float down the Wabash River.

We'll start at the June Barrett Public Access Site on Church Street in New Harmony, IN and paddle (or float) 5 miles downstream to Harmonie State Park. This float will take approximately 2~4 hours.--- More Break ---

We'll eat lunch at Harmonie State Park. Be prepared to battle some Asian carp while paddling. They jump out of the water in masses (as shown in the photo). Bring a knife of other long sharp object to terminate any carp that might land in your boat. (Laws prohibit throwing live carp back into the water.)
